Today’s Wordle Answer #550 - August 24, 2025 Solution And Hints
With our first guess for today’s Wordle puzzle, we eliminated three vowels in one go, so we got a pretty good head start. Sadly, our five-day streak of solving the puzzle in three tries or less came to an end yesterday, but we embark on a new streak — two straight days of getting it in four, which is still not the worst we could do. You could solve it even faster with a couple of hints and a little nudge from your friends at SlashGear, but if you’d rather take the fast track, we’ll have the full answer for you ahead.
First, the hints. We knocked three vowels out in the first guess, remember? But there were still two vowels throughout the entire word — the letters “U” and “A” appear in the second and fourth slots. The word rhymes with “sooner,” and there are no repeating letters. It’s something that’s been heavy on the minds ofElon Musk and Jeff Bezosin recent years.
We’ll land on this answer before we land on the moon again
If you’re still having trouble, fret not, because we’re here to play spoiler — the answer for today’s Wordle puzzle (#550 — June 08, 2025) is lunar. We most frequently associate this word with the moon, considering the word exclusively pertains to all matters of our beloved space rock.
Lunar is an English language adjective derived from the Latin noun root word “luna,” which literally means “moon,” later extended to “lunaris” to mean “of the moon.” According toEtymOnline, in the early 15th century, the word was used to describe something “crescent-shaped,” which is true for most,but not all, of the moon’s visible phases.
You’ll most commonly hear this word when discussing the moon landings of old (and all the variousconspiraciessurrounding it). It also pertains to calendrical systems, with most early and ancient civilizations using the moon as a way to track the days and seasons thanks to its predictable, but imperfect cycles. Many cultures and individuals today still practice following the lunar calendar over the now-standard Gregorian variety, according toBritannica, as evidenced by the many moon calendar apps you may download on your smartphone.
